For our Future

As we move into a new decade our times seem precarious. There
are major political and economic uncertainties across the world.
There are seismic social and moral shifts with strong
emerging post-truth generations, particularly in the West. There
are continued, mostly reactive, endeavours to restyle and redefine
the church and its role in personal lives, culture and society.
There are changes in global climates that, without collective and
corrective human action, will change all our futures on earth.
All would seem overwhelming. But it is not.

Jesus Himself was all too aware of the precarious nature of the
world his first disciples faced. He would return to the Father.
They would remain. Our new series for 2020 sets out to explore what
Jesus had to say to those first disciples and, importantly, how and
what he prayed for them (and those who followed them) before he
left the earth. The series will end with a close study of John 17 -
on the intimacy and majesty of Jesus praying. We encourage you to
make these chapters the subject of your reading and thinking over
the series. 'Let your hearts not be troubled'.
